Wordclock has nothing to do with positional sync, which is what you'd need in this context. Wordclock is for sample sync, an altogether different beast. When synching multiple digital machines (like, say, the Sony 3348 that I am occasionally called on to use), you may need to use wordclock to deal with jitter, but that won't keep transports locked. You do need SMPTE for that. I don't own a Korg unit (someday, I may), but I'm pretty sure that it has neither word nor SMPTE.
